"In my recent "Power to the Smartphone" entry, I talked about the biggest drains on Smartphone batteries. In this one, we'll talk about how this differs in PocketPCs. Almost everything I said about Smartphones in the previous entry is also true on PocketPCs, so make sure you read that entry before this one. Note also that, when I say "PocketPC" I'm really talking about "PocketPC Phone Edition" devices. We still sell PocketPCs that aren’t phones, but they're a shrinking market."

I know some of you find the power states of a Pocket PC and Smartphone to be a tad confusing. Well, Mike Calligaro has taken the facts, quashed the fiction, and presented it all in a great article. Head over to the Windows Mobile Team Blog for an insight into what drains our devices.

Sorry for an external link (I'm at home and don't have the HTML -> phpBB converter macro here; therefore, can't copy the article here now): I've elaborated on the statement of "BT units should be turned off" at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
